Your problem though, is the here and now of course. (Which isn't addressed in a timely manner for you in any of the current legislation, and you'll be eligible for Medicare by the time it is)
I think, allowing retirees over 60 to buy into Medicare until eligible is not a bad idea, though I don't know how workable it is. Also, if there was a nationwide pool of pre-existing condition (which I assume your meds are for) people (selling across state lines), I would expect some company would fill that need. Though certainly at a higher premium.
Alternately of course, you could've kept working till 65.

I do not see how this solves the problem of an insurance company dropping someone by being proactive and controlling his condition. Portability means nothing of the company drops for the reasons stated above or did I miss something?
